.... over 100 years ago still colours the way in which we view one another. The recent wave of Hong Kong immigrants began in the 1970s. This group is different from most others before it because of it's scale and the fact that they tend to be well-educated, affluent people. The result of their immigration into Vancouver has been a booming economy and social tension. With greater understanding and awareness on both sides we can alleviate the social tensions. Introduction There is a school in Vancouver which is offering a four year immersion programme to its students. That in itself is not highly unusual in our bilingual nation, what is unusual is that the l .....

.... an early age teach their kids to respect everyone, from the person sitting next to them in school to their coworkers in the future. People do not understand how much better the nation would be if the respect was there. Even if some parents do not teach their kids this valuable trait, if enough people are taught to respect others it will catch on. In most cases, if someone shows respect to someone else, that person is more likely to respect them back; causing a chain reaction. Right now, not enough parents are teaching their kids respect and this causes violence, crimes, and can even lead to drug use. It is easy to see how these problems can be easi .....

.... to seven children who all needed attention as much as the next one. Martha managed to teach her children manners and courtesy as well as how to get along in the world. She sacrificed to get the girls a weaving machine so they could make their own cloths for their families when they married. Even when they were older she was able to support them. Through all her child rearing she only lost one child which was extremely good for that time period. It was also due to uncontrollable circumstances like disease. This is a formidable feat especially compared to today’s standards. Along with maintaining her own children she also brought other children into the fami .....

.... you and help you when you need it. Residential life also provides a sense of identity and belonging. You are out on your own and have a chance to live your life how you want to without someone always telling you what to do. Another benefit is that living on campus will give me a lot more time to do important things and more opportunities to utilize everything EIU has to offer. The residence halls are all directly on campus and the campus is compact enough that everything you need is within a short walk. I plan to be involved in many university functions and to spend a lot of time at the student recreation center, and I find the closeness of everything on t .....

.... Another reason is that domestic violence doesn't only physically harm a woman; it also mentally harms the woman and any children involved. The third reason is that help is available. A man who physically abuses a woman can not be stopped unless he is given counseling, jailed, or killed. He will continue to abuse until he is stopped, and ignoring the problem will definitely not help it go away. Husbands and boyfriends send more women to the hospital each year than strangers do (Campbell 95). The US Surgeon General reports that, “domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to American women between the ages of fifteen and forty- four” (Brig .....

.... but none like professional athletes, women, and different ethnic groups in our country. Professional Basketball, Football, and Baseball players have been the victims of many stereotypes. Hearing people call them dumb is common. A misconception by many people is that pro athletes aren't educated. This is such a farce since the vast majority of them have attended prestigious colleges and universities, and received degrees in different fields of study. A popular misconception is that the educations they did earn were in areas like Liberal Arts, or other general fields of study which didn't challenge their mental capabilities. Another stereotype is that pro athl .....

.... of the 18th century came a new ststem to replace the previous domestic system. The new system was the factory system. Children were used in this system from as young as the age of five. Children were used extensively to tend the machines. Children were also used in coal mines, from as young an age as six. These children would work long hours in the dark and damp mines, often carrying coal in packs on their backs up long ladders to the surface. During the 1830's the English Parliament decided to create an investigation into the mistreatment of child laborors. One child in a textile mill testified that he began working when he was eight years of age and sinc .....

.... can be done. The typical teen is a ball of feelings and emotions with barbed wire wrapped around it. He is sarcastic, nasty, and completely unlikable. He also gives the impression that he does not care. Holden Caulfield, the protagonist in J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, is every teenager caught between the juvenility of high school and the fear of adulthood. The inability to be understood is one of the trademark characteristics of the typical teenager. Throughout the novel, Holden acts the way he does because no one seems to share his view of the world; no one understands what is going on in his head. Holden also uses colloquial speech instead of f .....
